Charles Martin Loeffler

Charles Martin Loeffler (1861-1935) German-born American composer.

Works

Loeffler was a fastidious composer who composed slowly, and some of his works (including a Cello Concerto) are lost. His best-known works include the symphonic poems La Mort de Tintagailes (after Maeterlinck), La Bonne Chanson (after Verlaine), A Pagan Poem (after Virgil), and Memories of My Childhood (Life in a Russian Village), as well as the song-cycle Five Irish Fantasies (to words by Yeats and Heffernan), and the chamber works Music for Four String Instruments and Two Rhapsodies for oboe, viola and piano.
